2332owner, thanks for ur advise, it has been well noted.

And you are absolutely correct in saying that the ratio is 1:1 in 2wd high. Thanks for the input.

You are also correct in saying that my current setup hasn't been tried... by me at least. The previous owner of the car recommended that a 5 speed be put in place of the 4 speed as the revs are not at a desireable level when highway cruizing. This person was also responsible for the A14 conversion, which is not an uncommon mod.

I apologise sincerely for being new to this forum and not understanding the background that other members are comming from. The information is apreciated, but unlike other forums the suggestions comming are sometimes not in relation to the question.

The A14 that the work is being performed on is the smallest engine that i've ever worked on, and the LJ is the smallest car i've ever worked on, yet its proving to be the hardest when scavenging for consistant information.

Once again, I apologise for not understanding the way this forum works, any more help/suggestions would be greatly apreciated, but please, in relation to my questions :)

Also no offence is meant by this post. I'm comming from a big six/V8 background, but am trying to stray to things that are more fun to play with and don't cost a fortune to run :P
